New York World: PersoDai-Will the
young woman who edited the gravy de-

the game on the evening ths8 We were

please come back, or write to 30 Park
Row. saying where sne left the crackers
and cheese?
Come back, Wilhelmina, and be our
little sunbeam nee more. Come back
and cluster around Dur hearrssone at so
much per cluster.
IL lyon think best. we will quit having
company at the house, especially people
who do not belong to your set.
We will also strive, oh SO hard, to
make it pleasanter for you in every way.
Ii we had known four or five years ago
that children we're offensive to you, it
would have been different. But it is
too late now. All we can do is to shut
them up in q barn and feed them
through knot-hole. II they Shrek
loud enough 60 give pain to your throb-
bIng brow, let no one know and we will
overcome any false sentiment We may
feel towards them and send them to the
Tembs.
Since you wen away we can see how
wicked and selfish we we're and how
little we considered your comfort. We
miss youf glad smile, also yonr TeDnes-
see marble cake and Your slat pie. We
h We learned q valuable lesson since you
went away, and 1t is that the blame
ahonld not have rested on one alone 1t
should have been divided equally, Ieav-
ing me to bear half of it and my wife
the other half.
Where we erred Was in dividing mp
the blame on the basis OF tenderioin
steak or peach cobbler, compelling you
to bear halt OF 1t yourself. That will
not work, Wlihelmina. Blame and pre-
serves do not divide on the same basis.
We are now In favor of what may be CAL
ed o sliding scale. We think yeu will
like this better.
We also made o grave mistake in the
matter of nights ont. While young 1
formed the wicked and pernicious babi,
of having nights out myself. / painted
for the night air and would go q long
distance aud stay ont o long time to ge,
enough of il for q. meas and her bring
it home in q paper bag, but 1 can see
now that it is time for me to remain in
doors and give young people like Your.
aelf o chance, Wilhelmina.
So if / can do anything evenings while
yon are out that will assist you, such as
stoning raisins or peighborlng windo vs..
oommand me. | am no cook, of course,
but l can peel apples or grind coffee OF
hold yonr head for you when you need
sympsthy. l could also soon learn to dc
plain cooking, / think. and friends who
come to see US after this have agreed &c
bring their dinners.
There is no reason why harmony
should not be restored among us and the
old sunlight come back to our roof tree.
Another thing I wish toswrite before ]
close this humiliatipg personal; I wish
to take back my harsh and bitter words
about your singing. I said that You sang
like q shinglemill but l was mad when
said 1t. and I wronged you. I was mad.
dened by hunger and you told me that
mush and milk was the proper thing fol
q brain worker, and you refused t.
give me any dope On my dumping
Goaded to madness by this / said that
you sang like 6 s~hingle-mili, but it was
not my better, higher nature that spoke
It was my grosser and mor gastric ma
ture that asserted itself and now / desire
to take 1T back. You do not sing like
shingIe.mill: OF least 30 much as to mis-
lead o praotised ear,
Your voice has more volume, and
when your upper register is closed it il
mellower than any shingle-mill l eve,
heard.
Come back, Wilhemina. We need ye,
every hour,
After you went away we tried to Sc
